What the Scottish daily papers say
What the papers say graphic
Deadly superbugs which neutralise antibiotics and cause fatal blood poisoning are sweeping Scots hospitals, Scotland on Sunday claims.

Another health scare finds its way onto the front page of the Sunday Post.

Millions of pounds worth of legally prescribed heroin, morphine and valium could find their way into the hands of drug dealers and junkies because there are no controls over their use, the paper says.

The Sunday Herald quotes a major research project that claims Scots adults overwhelmingly view young people as troublesome, disrespectful, indisciplined and criminal.

The Queen has become embroiled in a political row with the Scottish National Party over palace plans to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the union of crowns - just weeks before next year's Scottish Parliament elections, The Sunday Times in Scotland writes.

The exploits of TV's Mr Sex, Angus Deayton, continue to feature in the tabloids.

The blonde vice girl who bedded Deayton has revealed how she was tackled by two Man United stars in the run-up to her love matches with him, reports The News of the World.

And the Sunday Mirror tells how Angus begged forgiveness from his partner Lise Meyer for his drug-fuelled night with a prostitute.

"World Cup Wallies" is the headline in the Sunday Mail.

Red-faced MPs have been stung for £2000 after British firms refused to sponsor their jaunt to the World Cup in Japan, it claims.

A Government minister has made about £20m on GM food shares - while having official responsibility for regulating the 'Frankenstein food' technology, claims the Scottish Mail on Sunday.
